What this work involves
Plan service routes, light fittings, access panels and finishes before constructing the support system.
- Ceiling level and layout
- Lighting and access panels
- Acoustics and finish
Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Coordinate the internal floor, skirting and glazing threshold levels.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw one section through the kitchen, glazing and terrace. Include finished floor levels, the roof edge and shading position; separate supplier sketches do not fully show these relationships.
How to review the result
At completion, walk from the cooking area to the terrace. Check the opening with the intended furniture in place and review the light with any shading closed.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on area, support system, services and finish level. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for ceilings & suspended ceilings. Identify the elements that should remain.
Questions about the work
What should I discuss before arranging ceilings & suspended ceilings?
Concealed services may still need access. Discuss inspection points before closing the ceiling.
